Last year's Wimbledon Championships delivered a remarkable 'record surplus' of nearly £50m for British tennis. The Lawn Tennis Association (LTA) received £49.853m under an agreement where The All England Club (AELTC) passes on 90% of its profits to the governing body each year. Despite a wet championships, the company achieved this record surplus for the LTA. The AELTC's financial statement for the year to July 2024 reveals slightly increased profits of £54.332m and a rise in turnover to £406.507m. Prize money has doubled in the past 10 years, but players have been demanding a greater share of the revenue from the four Grand Slams. Just last month, the top 20 men's and women's players sent a letter asking for more prize money to the major tournaments.
